Facing outrage over the shocking justice in Bhopal gas tragedy case, Law Minister Veerappa Moily on Tuesday said the case against Warren Anderson, the then chairman of Union Carbide Corporation, has not been closed and he will be extradited to face the laws.

Moily blamed the investigating agencies and the judiciary for not taking the case to a serious pitch.

He said the CBI had applied Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code but the investigating agencies and the court failed to nail him.

The charges against him were watered down from culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 304 of IPC) to death due to negligence (Section 304 A) after a Supreme Court order thus restricting the maximum sentence to two-year imprisonment.

The law minister also stressed the need for a standalone comprehensive law to deal with cases like Bhopal disaster.
